Feverish attempts are continuing to ensure vulnerable families can benefit from Government’s care packages expected to be delivered this week.
Despite the Pack House of the Barbados Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation (BADMC) at Fairy Valley and Bridgetown being a hive of activity yesterday, it is still short of a number of the produce required for filling the care packages as distribution days draw near.
Minister of Education, Technological and Vocational Training Santia Bradshaw who is leading the initiative told a recent press conference, the distribution would begin Feb 9-12, but officials were in a race against time yesterday at their respective locations of the BADMC as well as the Barbados Agricultural Society (BAS).
